GOLD COAST
Good gold coast speedboat tours sell out weeks ahead in season and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes, and where they differ.
Ride from behind the Vibe Hotel in Surfers Paradise aboard a 650-horsepower jet boat. Your English-speaking driver, such as Toby, Jake, Mike, or Isaac, combines fast runs, sharp turns, and 360-degree spins with views of waterfront homes. Expect spray, speed, and a good chance of getting soaked.
“Such and amazing ride Mike was awesome. Everyone loved it and got very wet. Highly recommend something for everyone to do”
Start behind the Vibe Hotel in Surfers Paradise with a fast, splashy 55-minute jet boat ride led by an entertaining guide such as Toby or Jake. Then transfer to Marina Mirage for a 10-minute helicopter flight over Broadbeach, Q1, Surfers Paradise, SeaWorld, and South Stradbroke Island. Plan your own return.
“Booked this for my parents and they loved every moment - great surprise present. Would definitely recommend.”
Join Paradise Jet Boating at the river end of Cavill Avenue for a 60-minute ride through Surfers Paradise canals and the Broadwater. Expect speeds up to 80 km/h, 360-degree spins, sharp turns, and views of Sovereign Island. English-speaking skippers lead the trip, with free digital photos included.
“Absolutely amazing, Josh was great, lots of spins, water and sun.”
